"Kim Jong Un's Visit to Arms Factories Signals North Korea's Military Focus"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited major weapons factories, inspecting production lines for engines of strategic cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as factories producing shells for super large-caliber multiple rocket launchers and transporter-erector-launchers. Kim emphasized the need to increase production capacities to bolster the country's defense capabilities. These visits come amid North Korea's push to develop various strategic and conventional weapons, including recent displays of nuclear-capable missiles and attack drones. The United States has accused North Korea of providing arms to Russia for its war with Ukraine, but both countries have denied these claims.
